At the end of this webpage - (http://www.npiu.nic.in/dmf.htm) See "PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT" This is the same company that is selected for NPIU MIS, naturally this same MIS will be customized and provided to NPIU

CORE Projects & Technologies heavily prefer .NET based solution So most probably the infrastructure will be on Microsoft.

So I see "CORE Projects & Technologies" as a potential danger to FOSS adoption in India

You can check there website -- http://www.coreprojectstech.com -- this is Fastest Growing IT Company in the State of Maharashtra, India. It is to be noted that Maharashtra Govt never preferred FOSS solution. Maharashtra govt also have MoU with Microsoft too.
